Have a look at what it would cost you to make up a set from quality components! Then call Phil P or Andy N and get a new set ordered, I make them for my work and make my own, but to make a set or three for yourself it’s just not worth it. As you said you don’t know how old the others are, so with that in mind and knowing the issues dodgy ribbon cables can cause, I would personally recommend just replacing all the ones you require.

I’ll jump into the TZ manual and see if I can find the part number. It may be that it’s supposed to be 30” anyway.

@taz turbo - the others look fine and the only issue I have is 100% related to the ribbon between the MPU and the aux board. The ribbon that is in there looks old and isn’t very tight. I’m getting an occasional locked on flasher which is classic ribbon iffyness.

Thanks! With any luck it might turn up tomorrow, but if not no big deal.

I don't know how long that existing cable is to be honest, I would presume it is also 32". You can probably tell from that photo that it is the only ribbon without black connectors, and is visibly older (yellowed) than the others. It had slightly popped off the MPU end causing grief before, and I put it back on but booted to a locked on flasher the other day, so it's definitely knackered. Damn ribbons.

The red wire is different to my existing cable (flipped), meaning the little keying tab that would normally sit in the connector on the PCB would be wrong on one end. Since neither board has a housing, I assume I can just install the ribbon following the red cable polarity and not care about the tab?
